The Royal Navy’s most exceptional personnel carrying out our most highly classified missions - that’s life in the Submarine Service
Submariners work on some of our most classified operations. Whether onboard a Ballistic Submarine – equipped with nuclear deterrents – or on one of our agile and adaptable Attack Submarines, you’ll tackle the secret missions that keep our country safe.
Whatever your job, you’ll work with the most advanced technology. You might identify, track, and destroy potential threats, or be in charge of managing and fixing equipment, machines, or weapons. Each day is different with new challenges.
Our community is unique and built on trust and support. You’ll protect and look out for your fellow crew, living and working together in the under-sea environment. When it's time to unwind, our gym and common areas are never in short supply of social activities, like quizzes and movie nights.
Your service as a Submariner never goes unrewarded. The pay and benefits reflect your commitment: an excellent starting salary, cash bonus for joining, extra pay for every day at sea, plus an additional joining bonus if your job is a highly-specialised one.
From sonar to nuclear, engineering to logistics, Submariners are some of our most exceptional personnel.
Unseen and unhindered, we‘re the silent strength protecting from beneath the waves. We’re responsible for highly classified, stealth, elite operations – and Trident, our nuclear deterrent.
Life under the waves isn‘t for the faint of heart. You’re resilient, brave, prepared for any challenge, and willing to learn on the job. You enjoy teamwork, fitness, problem-solving, and working to high standards.
Most importantly, you‘ll be a team player. We live, work and socialise together – everyone on board, from the most junior rating to the Commanding Officer, is part of one team.
Whatever your background or qualifications, you can excel in our Submarine Service. Take on a job suited to your skills and area of interest, and we’ll train you to be a leader.
